“$340,000,000,000 from Amazon”
MISLEADING
What the record shows
Amazon invested $340 billion total in the U.S. in 2025 (infrastructure + employee compensation per Amazon's official announcement). New announced commitments during Trump administration: $34 billion ($20B Pennsylvania, $10B North Carolina, $4B small towns).
$340B is total annual spending, not a new investment pledge. Framing it as 'secured' misrepresents routine capex and payroll as administration achievement.
